CHAPTER XXXVIII

I have to say that Shanniang has really adjusted herself well, that is, now she is under the same roof as the enemy in her previous life, she can still maintain her composure, and obediently play the image of a slightly shy underage girl who refuses to look up at people.

To say, this is the Great Zhou after the "Shengyuan Innovation", and it is still in the Hou family's Five Old Masters' Mansion that does not abide by the traditional rules of etiquette and religion, so that Shanniang can live in the same room with a "foreign man" like Yuan Changqing. If she was still in the West Garden, she wouldn't even think about this kind of thing...... Of course, at this time, she actually wished that the fifth master could be more traditional.

It's a pity that as soon as the fifth master saw the fifth wife, there were no guests in his eyes, how could he still see their insignificant children.

And the fifth wife was originally fooled by Shanniang. The wife felt in her heart that the concubine had suffered a crime, and her mother-in-law had to show her concern, so she agreed, but she didn't expect to be so unlucky, and she met that terrifying enemy at the top...... At this time, Mrs. Fifth did not shake the sleeves out of a ripple again, thanks to the credit of Shan Niang who said countless good things for the fifth master in the embroidery room before.

In short, as soon as the two parties met like this, and the husband and mother were not strong, they all stopped staring at each other - ah, it can't be said that "all of them are staring at each other", at least Shanniang's "mother and daughter" are hanging their heads and not looking at people at this time. Of course, one of them is really shy, and the other is just pretending.

Therefore, once a person's temperament is formed, it is really difficult to change. It's a turn of life.,Shan Niang, who was known for her understanding of her eyes in her previous life.,It's still a little hard to change habits at this time.,Obviously bowed her head and pretended to be obedient.,But when she found that there was a not very decent silence in the room.,She couldn't help but want to jump out and be the "all-human" who eased the atmosphere.

Fortunately, she finally held back.

However, even without her, not all of the people present were as unsophisticated as the fifth master or Yuan Changqing who didn't like to take the initiative to speak. I saw Lin Ruting come out of the crowd, bowed to the fifth wife and the thirteenth girl who had just entered the door, and said: "Fifth wife-well, the thirteenth girl is fine, disturb the house." ”

It is said that this Meishan Town is just a little bit bigger, and the fifth master Hou and Lin Ruting's father Lin Zhonghai were both students of Meishan Academy, and the fifth wife also knew Lin Ruting, so she shyly replied.

There, Lin Ruting pulled Yuan Changqing and introduced: "This is my junior brother Yuan Changqing, from the capital. ”

Although the fifth wife is not a competent housewife, the basic courtesy of hospitality is quite thorough, so she half-hid behind Shanniang and said a few polite words to the two of them, such as "Thanks to Gao Yi for rescuing the child".

This Lin Ruting is really not a senior of Meishan Academy, and his considerate care of people is not a bright spot of one star or two points. What's more, the fifth wife's personality is known to everyone in Meishan Town, so when he talked to the fifth wife, his voice unconsciously softened by three points.

Shanniang saw it and couldn't help but nod secretly.

In her previous life, she had no contact with Lin Ruting, only knowing that he was the least famous of the "Three Gentlemen of Luomei", although in the end he was an official in Hanlin and a scholar (a well-known title in later generations, that is, secretary, the emperor's secretary). Now that she took such a closer look, she understood the reason for his lack of fame.

In "The Three Gentlemen of Luomei", Lin Ruxuan is a cheerful and lively person, and his every move is easy to attract people's attention; Although Yuan Changqing is silent, he has a very lethal face, as well as an indescribable and extremely strong sense of existence, that is, he stands there without saying or moving, and no one can ignore it. Compared with such a strong two, Senior Lin, who treats people like spring rain and "moistens things silently", naturally suffers a lot.

When she was just reborn, Shanniang was like a person who woke up from a nightmare, and she had doubts and denials about her previous life. It wasn't until now, after a month's recuperation and adjustment, that she gradually came out of that kind of confused love. After precipitating all her feelings, she now thinks of the past, but in addition to criticism and denial, she has more rational thinking and understanding. As a result, she gradually understood a lot of truths that she insisted on and refused to understand in her previous life. Like what......

For example, it doesn't mean that whoever she likes must also like her.

For another example, a person's appearance and temperament are not important at all, what is important is a person's temperament.

Looking at this warm spring water as senior Lin, Shanniang couldn't help but peek at Yuan Changqing, who was standing aside without saying a word, and couldn't help but ask herself for a while: In her previous life, why did she like him?! What the hell does she like about him?!

Now that I think about it, this man has almost no merit...... is pure and arrogant, what you don't like is not like, that is, out of politeness, you don't put your dislike on your face, and you can't help but put it on your action, and you will never be wronged by yourself, and you will never bow your head and be wronged with others...... I never want to tell anyone what I have in my heart, and I always like to turn around and let people guess for themselves. Even if he can't guess, he will never give a hint, it's just a stone in the pit, smelly, hard and difficult to communicate...... Covered in turtle hair, light yì does not let people get close, his things can not be moved by anyone, and the things that have been passed would rather be thrown away than surrendered to others......

Thinking like this, Shanniang suddenly felt that apart from that face, he didn't have anything that could make her look at it.

But why was she so confused back then, and she was obsessed with such a person all her life?!

Ah, no, it may not be said that she is "obsessed" with him...... Now that I think about it, maybe she was so obsessed with him in her previous life, more out of three words: unwilling!

Just like she actually doesn't like Xiyuan, because she has given a lot and doesn't want to get nothing for her efforts, so even if the shoe is clamped again, she stubbornly wants to hold the shoe until it fits......

So, I ended up wearing out my foot.

In this life, she will naturally not ask for hardships again. If she could, she even felt that life without a man was the most comfortable - she didn't need to have children for men, she didn't need to manage household affairs for men, she just had to be herself......

It's just that this is an extravagant hope. Even if the five masters and five wives don't care about her, that is, now that she has left the West Garden, in the eyes of the old lady, she is afraid that she still has use value...... Even if it's like the sixth cousin, marry a half-old widower as a stepfamily.

And, if she has to marry someone in this life, she will not marry someone like Yuan Changqing if she dies. is to marry, and to marry Lin Ruting. At the very least, such a person who will notice his wife's uneasiness, and is willing to soften his wife's timidity, must be a gentle and considerate person......

*·*·*

Shanniang was silently looking at Lin Ruting's thoughtfulness and gentleness here, and the fifth master, Hou Feng, and Hou Shuyi were also watching silently, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt uncomfortable.

The focus of Shanniang's attention is on Lin Ruting, and the focus of the fifth master's attention is on the fifth wife.

In the impression of the fifth master, the fifth wife is not only not good at communicating, but even afraid of communicating. Whether it is at home or away, Mrs. Fifth always looks like she can't see her. Someone took the initiative to talk to her in order to show friendship, she also looked like she was trembling and wanted to shout for help, and the smile on her lips was even more unbearable, and gradually, no one would provoke her. And usually until that time, Mrs. Fifth can relax a little.

Today, when Lin Ruting took the initiative to talk to his wife, at first, his wife was the same as before, looking like she couldn't retract her head into her stomach, but gradually, as Lin Ruting whispered softly and slowly, how Yuan Changqing and Hou Rui jumped into the river, how to fish Hou Jue up from the river, how Hou Jue was so bold that she didn't cry from beginning to end...... Mrs. quickly relaxed, although she didn't take the initiative to speak, when she heard Lin Ruting talk about the interesting things, she also pursed her lips and smiled sincerely......

Looking at that smile, the fifth master suddenly felt uncomfortable. He looked at Lin Ruting with pickiness.

He and Lin Ruting's father, Lin Zhonghai, often exchanged letters, so he was actually no stranger to Lin Ruting, but, I don't know why, he looked at Lin Ruting very indifferently today.

This Lin Ruting is nineteen years old this year, and his body is as long as a bamboo pole, but compared to Hou Rui and Yuan Changqing, two teenagers who are only sixteen years old, his height cannot be regarded as tall. And that white and pure little white face, how does it look like a gentleman?! The eyes are quite big, but what is the matter with a big man with double apricot eyes? Sissy!

Although the fifth master was sour in his heart, in fact, he didn't understand why the fifth wife was not afraid of this Lin Ruting. He hadn't noticed it before, but now after being reminded by his daughter, he realized that nine times out of ten times before, it was his quick temper that scared Mrs. Five. Speaking softly and slowly like Lin Ruting, he ...... Well, in fact, if you think about it, he shouldn't be unable to do it......

The fifth master is quietly observing and studying here, but Lin Ruting is already running out of words.

At this time, he had already finished talking about the whole process of Yuan Changqing and Hou Rui's rescue, but the five old men and the couple actually stared at each other, and they all looked like they had nothing to do with themselves and didn't plan to take over the conversation, Lin Ruting paused, so he had to continue to enliven the atmosphere, turned his head and asked Shanniang: "Thirteen girls are good now?" When are you going to go back to school? ”

Only then did the fifth master know that Shanniang hadn't gone to school recently.

Seeing the fifth master glaring at her, Shanniang also remembered that it was the fifth master who "retreated" and did not see the guests before, and in the past two days, because of her brother's affairs, she had forgotten such an important thing. So she only pretended not to see the eyes of the fifth master, and said ominously twice, then pulled the little fat dun over and thanked the two of them again, and brought the topic back to saving people and thanking them.

Lin Ruting flashed to the side and said with a smile: "I am useless, and if I want to thank me, Senior Brother Yuan, I don't know water, so I didn't make any effort." ”

Shanniang thought that with the Yuan Changqing she knew, she would only return the salute silently, and then still stood there playing the silent stone pillar. But he didn't want Yuan Changqing to return the courtesy, but he unexpectedly said: "It's just a coincidence, Senior Brother Lin wants to see me release the eagle, so we will pass by the river." ”

Shanniang's eyes suddenly blinked. Others may not know, but Shanniang knows very well that this Yuan Changqing never says useless nonsense, and now she suddenly has such an explanation, which makes her doubt his intentions......

Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Changqing's voice fell, the fifth master stood up and exclaimed: "I said why do you look a little familiar, it turns out that Yuan Xiaoxianggong is actually the owner of that Hai Dongqing!" That day I said that we would definitely meet by fate, but I didn't expect to meet like this, and you saved the dog......"

Shanniang's eyes suddenly narrowed - she knew that there was a reason for this!
